As the Edinburgh Fringe Festival draws to a close - we look back at the best of this years pickings.

 

Yianni Agisilaou ('sparklingly intelligent...highly amusing' - Chortle) is an Australian comedian who, in his highly entertaining Free Fringe Show The Universe: A Users Guide, covers everything from the Physics of the Big Bang and Dark Matter, to Metaphysical laws such as Synchronicity and The Law of Attraction, and even takes a short ride through philosophical concepts like Materialism and Buddhism.

Yianni's love of science shines through in this whirlwind tour of the universe. Listening to him expressing his sense sense of wonder at the immensity of the universe in which we exist, as well as the jokes about the science and just how incomprehensible it seems to even the educated, entertains throughout as well as providing a little education along the way for the audience. The show is nothing short of excellent, completely free and shows you exactly why 2010 may just be the year in which Yianni Agisilaou finally gets the recognition he deserves.
